Something is happening again with Android Auto in the area of wireless connections. On the one hand, icons disappear, but another unpleasant behavior can also be observed with the WLAN.
Android Auto: Latest version not without errors?
It is quite possible that Google developers are having a tinkering session behind the scenes and are trying out various changes. Users report that they no longer see the icon in the status bar when they are connected to a WLAN. This is exactly where the next catch that other users’ report comes in.
On Reddit, someone reports that when using the wireless Android Auto variant, their phone automatically disconnects from the hotspot that they always carry with them. Before updating to Android Auto 7.8, the phone kept the hotspot connection and also connected to Android Auto wirelessly at the same time.
Two abnormalities related to the WLAN connection
The two messages about WiFi connections appeared at a similar time and may be related to Android Auto 7.8. This is the latest stable version of the app. However, it is still unclear whether a large number of users are affected. According to the report, Google has not yet made any comments or statements.
Not the only mistakes of the last few days
A few days ago, new reports emerged from users where the wireless connection for Android Auto stopped working at all after a few seconds. Because the projection happens via WLAN, these problems could also be related to the behavior of the app just described.
So version 7.8 doesn’t seem to be running smoothly. After all, 7.9 is already on the way and has just been released in a newer beta version. There seem to be some bug fixes necessary, if you read that in the forums.
